Subject: Re: Weights for a Measured Cup of Food
Dear Cathy,
It would be good to have some sort of
standardisation in defining portion sizes, eventhough in many situations
specific procedures might be required. I do not know if standardised procedures
already exist for this type of measurements. If there are, I would be interested
to receive them.
I do know that we did measure some portion
sizes in the Netherlands in the past (not too many) and can ask my colleagues
if any procedures were developed that could be used more generically.
With best wishes,
Susanne

Weights for
a Measured Cup of Food

Hi -
I am trying to locate standard
procedures for measuring the weight of 1 cup of raw leafy greens including
factors such as number of replicates to make, degree of packing, sampling
plan, etc. The FAO/INFOODS Density Database Version 2.0 http://www.fao.org/docrep/017/ap815e/ap815e.pdf
includes density values for a few leafy greens but I did not see
any information about how the measurements were made.
Does anyone know if this
type of information exists?
Thanks much for any information
you can provide!
Cathy
